TO INTERcEDK FOR THE ANARCHISTS.

| Governor in behalf Of the condemned en-
srchists arrived here last night. The
] members talked freely regarding their
mission to an Associated Press represen-
tative. When asked what effect the find.
| ing of the bombs in Lingg's cell would
have, Mr.. Dixon said: "The effeci SO
far produced is 6eplorable, and our dele
CATION in this city tonight would be ten
times as large had not this matter
been published broadcast. l don't know
whether it is really true that bombs were
| secreted in the cell by Lingg, but eau
say this: II it is proved beyond doubt
after further investigation that the bombs
were there with his procurement, no one
can conscientiously ask clemency Tor
him. If Lingg wanted to insure the hang
| ing of himself and all his comrades, he
could not have done more likely thing
to attain that end than TO secrete these
| bombs Just as he is said to have done"
Great excitement was created here last
| night by the announcement that Colonel
| EWart, assistsnt-sdjutant general, has
| notified the commanders of two SPRING
| field companies of the Fifth regiment Of
state militia to
HOLD THEIR COMPANIES IN READINESS
TO assemble at :heir armory for service.
Tue signal for the assembling is to be
three distinct taps OF the fire bells. Men
in military uniform are TO be seen on the
streets, and when questioned all they Can
tell is they have been notified to be ready
to respond TO the signal. 1t is not known
at this writing what the object Of the Or
der is, nor where the troops are expected
to be sent. The belief is prevalent, how
ever, that they are to be ordered to Chi
cage.
THE G vGRNOR'S NAIL.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Nov. Over two
hundred and fifty letters and petitions
were received by Governor Oglesoy this
morning in reference to the anarchists
case, far the greater portion being as
usual from Chicago. 1t is asserted with
confidence, contrary to the rules hereto
tores the proportion of the demands for
execution were greatly in excess Of the
requests for clemenCy. This change Of
sentiment has undoubtedly been occasion
ed by the finding of the bombs in L ngg's
cell. Rumor says that two more threat
eDing letters were received by the Cover
nor this morning. According to his in
variable custom they were promptly cast
into the flames. Governor Oglesby seems
ening letters than are his friends.
GIVEN LITTLE EXERCISE.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. S'-Parsons, Spies,
Fielden, Schwab, Fischer and EogeI were
let out of their cells at O'Clock this
morning. For an hour they stretched
their legs in the cell house enclosure.
Every movement Of the condemned men
was watched by bailiffs, one of whom
was assigned to each man. The baillffs
walked up and down the exercise space
with their charges, whom they did not al
low more than five or six feet away from
them. They were alert 20 prevent cry st
tempt Of violence or suicide and were
kept entirely away from the other prison
ers. While they were eating the bailiffs
stood at the door and watched them, and
when they were done all the dishes were
quickly removed All OF them, but
Eagel, ate heartily. While the men
were at exercise each cell was searched.
Nothing suspicious was discovered. Miss
VanZandt and Mrs. Fischer were the
only visitors at the jail, except Rev. Mr..
Bolton of the Methodist church. He
talked to Spies three or four minutes
with bai!iff within hearing distance.

it. Two deputies watched him as he
walked up and down, examining the cage
with q restless movement. The Tailor
took the two clocks from the cell, the
only pieces of metal left to him. AS
soon as the search was over Lingg
